So I got my car back from the dealer today and when i went to pick it up the guy told me that I pretty much wont get any warranty in the future because my car is too heavily modified. They also apparently took a bunch of pictures of it all so that they know in the future that my car had all these mods.

I tought it was kinda funny actually.. the invoice says in bold "VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE AFTERMARKET MODIFICATIONS"

 

they voided your 2.2 ? lol

 

holy **** what do you have done to your car?

 

what are your mods?

 

What they said ^

 

it's GM.. that **** was voided at your first fill up

 

i hardly have anything done to my car really.. thats why i think its funny. not nearly as much as most of the folks on here.

 

which is?

 

intake, exhaust, short shifter, projector lights, tinted tails, optima battery, complete new stereo, remote starter/security, interior and underbody led's, aftermarket guages, lowering springs.. thats really all i can think of for now..

 

weird, my dealer got done checking out my car for an issue and the service manager told me he liked what i had done with it, and was telling me about the exhaust and intake on his hhr

 

lol thats all he can think of.... FOR NOW!!! lol

 

I'm guessing it was due to the electronics.

 

Ever heard of Magnuson-Moss?

 

haha ya thats all thats done to the car for now... the rest is yet to come. and what^^^^

 

for that that is bull ****

 

is that where they can only void it if they prove your mods caused the problem or something?

 

mmhmm

 

ye, ur no way into no warranty area

 

wow i'd go to a diff dealership. I have mostly all that, and my dealership says they don't care what I do to the car as long as I understand that anything aftermarket is my responsibility and if for example my head unit fries my stock pioneers, they wont cover it, you know?

 

Yes... unless they can prove your mod caused the problem they have to warranty it.. print it out and bring it with you

I doubt your LED's caused any damage ... there really isnt anything on your mod list that would cause an issue

 

Thats what i thought.. but dealerships tend to overexaggerate things.

 

yes, tell them warranty is valid until something breaks due to your modifcation or is touching it

 

oh i will when i need it... i just thought it was funny the way they reacted!!

 

I love it when people with cool dealerships get on here and can't figure out that they got lucky with the one cool GM dealership in a 1000 mile radius. For the most part GM dealerships are doing their job to keep GM's books in the black by frivelously voiding warranties and generally being dicks.

 

lol there are some DICK dealerships in my area.
